Genes affected
HUWE1 (HGNC:30892): (HECT, UBA and WWE domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) This gene encodes a protein containing a C-terminal HECT (E6AP type E3 ubiquitin protein ligase) domain that functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The encoded protein is required for the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl1 (myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (BCL2-related)). This protein also ubiquitinates the p53 tumor suppressor, core histones, and DNA polymerase beta. Mutations in this gene are associated with Turner type X-linked syndromic cognitive disability.

In summary, the available evidence is currently insufficient to determine the role of this variant in disease. Therefore, it has been classified as a Variant of Uncertain Significance. Experimental studies have shown that this variant affects HUWE1 protein function (PMID: 29118367). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt HUWE1 protein function. ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 10678). This variant is also known as c.12229C>T (p.R4077C). This variant has been observed in individual(s) with intellectual disability (PMID: 18252223, 19377476). This variant is not present in population databases (ExAC no frequency). This sequence change replaces arginine with cysteine at codon 4187 of the HUWE1 protein (p.Arg4187Cys). The arginine residue is highly conserved and there is a large physicochemical difference between arginine and cysteine. -

Significance: Pathogenic
Review Status: criteria provided, single submitter
Collection Method: clinical testing

A hemizygous missense variant was identified, NM_031407.6(HUWE1):c.12559C>T in exon 81 of 84 of the HUWE1 gene. This substitution is predicted to create a major amino acid change from an arginine to a cysteine at position 4187 of the protein, NP_113584.3(HUWE1):p.(Arg4187Cys). The arginine at this position has very high conservation (100 vertebrates, UCSC), and is located within the HECT domain. In silico software predicts this variant to be damaging (Polyphen, SIFT, CADD, Mutation Taster) and the variant is not present in the gnomAD population database. It has been previously reported in patients with X-linked intellectual disability (ClinVar; Hu, H. et al. (2016)). It has also been shown to segregate with disease in one family (Froyen, G. et al. (2008)). In addition, functional studies showed decreased DNA repair capacity and hypersensitivity to oxidative stress in patient lymphoblastoid cells (Bosshard, M. et al. (2017)). A different variant in the same codon resulting in a change to a histidine has been reported as likely pathogenic (ClinVar; Niranjan, T. et al. (2015)). Based on information available at the time of curation, this variant has been classified as PATHOGENIC. -
